Well - we have that scripts directory ... When we can't hard/softlink,
we can copy. I don't see a place where this would not suffice.

So when it comes to WinDos, we can just create a few scripts there that
resemble ln by cp and make the Makefiles use that scripts. Should be a 
matter of a few extra variables.

Basically yes. I only have _very_ old DOS compilers, but as this issue is
pending much too long, I'll very probably download a recent version of DJGPP
and write LibGGI-for-DJGPP using some kind of suidkgi approach.

Anybody here with instructions/suggestions on where to get the latest
version and get things up and running quickly ?
